On the following pages you will find the names and brief biographies of 12 individuals who have, or who are, doing much to drive microelectromechanical system (MEMS) components forward both technically and commercially.

It's a personal list, in alphabetical order, of the shakers and movers in MEMS but if you feel I have left anyone out that obviously deserves a mention in this company please get in touch with me (peter.clarke@eetimes.be).

Robert Andosca, co-founder, president and CEO of MicroGen Systems Inc. (Rochester, New York), has been a pioneer of the applications of vibrational MEMS and piezoelectric effect to energy harvesting. Prior to the formation of MicroGen, Andosca spent 20 years developing and introducing a variety of MEMS and integrated circuit devices in executive positions he held with STC MEMS, Lilliputian Systems, Umicore, Corning IntelliSense, Clare Corporation, Lockheed Martin and Irvine Sensors.
